Yes sir that is the route I’m going. Hopefully I’ll get it started this weekend. Thank you for your help!I would definitely start with a 22 can and take it from there. Good news is that e-forms should make your wait significantly shorter than what it would have been if you hadn't walked out empty handed a few months ago.
I can't recommend the Silencerco Spectre enough. Very good sound and easy to clean, no need to worry about them locking up when they get dirty like some 22 cans (looking at you GemTech).
